Abstract

The invention relates to a construction for automatically milking animals, comprising a milkbox (1) and a milking machine. The floor (46) of the milkbox (1) includes recording means (45), with which from the position of a leg of an animal on the floor (46), the location of the udder and/or the teats can be determined. Furthermore with the aid of recording means (45) it is possible to determine the weight of an animal standing in the milkbox.
